If we don't want insurance prices to be tied to customers' health condition, let's make a law against that. I don't know how it is in the US, but I wouldn't be surprised if they're already using the results of

Perhaps the reason why people aren't following you with a plastic bag is exactly because it is worthless? Sounds to me like if it wasn't, someone would have been following you. 23andme didn't follow anyone around — people sen

It seems like a year ago 23andme was hacked and almost 7 million records were leaked. Wikipedia doesn't list one case of someone being affected by it. Was this kind of data ever used to harm someone? It sounds to me like we're jus

True, but the analogy is far from fitting. Your nudity is shared with people in the gym, your biometrics is shared with anyone that has access to anything you ever touched. Your nude picture being shown on TV isn't the same as you-and-

How will it be used against them? What's so secret about my DNA, considering I leave traces of it everywhere I go?

Just a reminder that you're leaving your biometrics basically on every surface you touch, and your DNA pretty much everywhere you drop a hair.

Since I got my Gen 7 X1 Yoga I was following the IPU6 driver development pretty closely - how we moved from multiple patches, to DKMS, and now to "it just works". So many of us (and probably countless users in the future) owe so m

They also hit a school building a few hundred meters from my parents house. No military building anywhere in town. As for Hezbollah - they definitely destroyed a lot of civilian houses with missiles that passed Iron Dome. The whole area is

The idea is that you run this from your personal computer, so I don't see any issues with the network really? Regarding the AI emulation browser in GPU - do you have an example on such a website that you'd like to scrape? I'd

That makes it much harder to search, sync, export etc. Awkward? yes, but there's nothing wrong with it.

To so many of these the answer is yes. - Comments? Put them in the filename - Tags? Put them in the filename - Sync? Many of us already sync our devices in some way (dropbox/gdrive/syncthing/...). I see it as a plus - it puts

Except, there's the possibility that if this worked, companies wouldn't need to track users, and considering the hassle it is (at least in the EU), they will prefer using these non-invasive methods _instead_. And this possibility

AFAIK it gives advertisers aggregated data on the performance of the ads, such as "23% of the clicks on the ad end up buying the product". I would be enlightened to hear how this can be used as part of my fingerprint.

I'm assuming they left the fediverse because it ended up not being a huge success, and not because they suddenly pivoted against decentralization.

Things are more complex than that. Yes, they're engaged in creating an ads measurement technique that is actually very private (read the specs). No, they're not making money out of it. Yes, they've done a terrible job at expl

Yes, why not? I could imagine calls like these leading to hurting police personals. These personals are not only people (and therefore part of society, that democracy should protect), but they're also part of the law enforcement system

I'm not from the US, so I might be missing your point, but if you're referring to neutrality around free speech then I guess the answer is yes? I'm not sure where you're heading though. I do think this is a very complica

Would make the hate go away - probably not. But in the country I grew up, for example, we had a prime minister assassinated in the 90s, and I think that many would agree that it was the calls in protests and the kind of symbols that were us

I'm sorry for assuming this, but I think this could only come from someone that never felt like they're part of a threatened group. If people are marching the streets shouting "kill all the ${x}!", I very much feel like

That's skewed logic. The fact that Israel was originally created because Jews needed a safe haven doesn't mean that when they won't need it anymore it will disappear. Also, from Israel's declaration of independence: &quo

Well of course it does. Otherwise, more than 60k people from the north of Israel wouldn't need to leave their towns since October.

Some reports are saying the Icom-V82 devices were bought by Hezbollah 5 months ago, close to the time yesterday's beeper were purchased. However, the exploding part was the battery, imported to Lebanon only 2 weeks ago. I wonder if thi

That indeed happened in yesterday's attack. Not to take away from linking him to Hezbollah, however.
